adminParty spokesperson Cde Rugare Gumbo said the exercise was being undertaken in the interest of the party.
If anything, Cde Gumbo said, Zanu-PF would emerge stronger after the exercise.
He said the investigations had the full backing of the party.
“This is not a restructuring exercise but it is an investigation by the national chairman’s team to find out problems being faced by our provinces,” he said.
“The idea is to straighten the party structures to ensure that people with grassroots support are the ones in leadership positions,” Cde Gumbo said.
Cde Gumbo said the exercise was not a witch hunt since it was being carried out with a clear purpose.
This week the probe team would descend on Masvingo province on a fact-finding mission on challenges facing the province.
The team is expected to meet Politburo, Central Committee and National Consultative Assembly members as one group.
Recent visits by the team to Bulawayo and Manicaland provinces resulted in leadership changes.
In Bulawayo the Politburo appointed Cde Callistus Ndlovu provincial chairperson taking over from Cde Killian Sibanda who is now the deputy chairman.
Ambassador John Mvundura was appointed interim chairperson for Manicaland province taking over Cde Mike Madiro who is on suspension.
Ambassador Mvundura is being deputised by Retired Lieutenant General Mike Nyambuya.
Masvingo, like Manicaland, had its fair share of challenges mainly related to personality clashes.
This saw Zanu-PF losing a number of seats to MDC-T in the 2008 elections.
The team is led by national chairman Cde Simon Khaya-Moyo and comprises of Zanu-PF secretary for administration Cde Didymus Mutasa, secretary for security Cde Sydney Sekeramayi and national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu.
The team also visited Harare province recently. After the probe, the team is expected to come up with a report that would be tabled before the Politburo.
